Report Generator[edit]
The Report Generator is a software module to automatically generate a test report from tests that are carried out by RadiMation®. Once RadiMation® had carried out a test, all collected test data is available to the RadiMation® report generator, and this data can be merged into a test report. Using the Report Generator module, a test engineer can save a huge amount of time. The Report Generator only needs a few minutes to generate a complete test report.
Test reports can be written in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel or Text format.
Generating a report[edit]
Open an EUT and press the Report button on the Reports tab of the EUT window. This button shows the screen in which the settings for the generation of the report can be selected.
To select a template file, select the folder button for the template or click on the path. The red cross is for deleting the file selection, not the file itself. The magnifying glass is for viewing the template. If you want to print the report directly after it has been generated then check the check box for 'Print Report'. If you want to edit the report then check the 'Edit Report' check box. By default all tests are included for generating a report. If you want to alter the selection press the 'Advanced Option' button. An additional screen will be displayed like as shown below.
All the tests with the 'Include' checks selected will be included in the final report. Selecting the check box of a test will alter the include/exclude of this specific test. With the "Select all" button, all tests will be included. With the "Unselect all" button, all tests will be excluded from the final report. "Invert selection" will invert all the including/excluding. Selecting the "Generate" button will start the report generation process. This process can not be paused or cancelled be the end user. The report will be finished in a few moments. The generation time varies between a couple of seconds for a text file to several minutes for an extensive report containing many tables and graphs in MS Word.
Template files and Report files[edit]
The report Generator uses two files to generate a report. These two files are the Template file and the Report file. The Template file is the complete Report containing all the necessary keywords. The test Data is represented by unique keywords, which tell the report generator which data to insert at the position of the code. The Report Generator changes (replaces) all keywords into test data and will create the actual report. This Report file is the complete test report including all test data and is thus the output file. The Template file is not altered. It is recommended to make this Template file read-only, so no one can accidentally delete or modify this file. The Template file must exist, the Report file will be created, if it doesn't exist. The Template file and report file may not be the same file!
Keywords and Main Keywords[edit]
A template file contains one or more unique keywords. These keywords consist of a Main Keyword and a second Keyword. The codes are of the following type: ||Main keyword | second keyword|| The Main Keyword indicates the part of RadiMation® from which the data must be retrieved. The Keyword specifies the data to be merged into the report file. The Main Keyword can be:
- EUT
- "Configuration" - The name of a test specified in the list in the EUT Window
Every Main Keyword has a set of Keywords that can only be used in combination with the used Main Keyword.
For example:
The EUT Main Keyword can use the keyword "Serial Number", but the "Serial Number" keyword is not supported by the "Configuration" Main Keyword. A list of Keywords is given in the succeeding paragraphs of in this manual. The keywords must be spelled correctly, including spaces and other symbols. To separate multiple words, only one space is used. Keywords and Main keywords are not case sensitive. When a Keyword or Main Keyword is not recognised, or when there is no test data available for this Keyword or Main keyword, the code will not be altered. The test engineer will be given a message in the settings screen of the Report Generator. One failure will be added to the total amount of failures. If a template file is altered, or the test-name has changed, the test engineer should search a generated report for codes from the template file for he may have used codes that contain no data or are not recognised by the Report Generator.
Available Report Generator Codes for EUT's[edit]
The Main keyword for EUT data is "EUT". All data entered in the EUT Window in RadiMation® can be merged into a report file. All data can be merged as single lines of text or in tables. Tables are supported for Client data, Manufacturer data and Test site data. In addition, a table with all information can be merged.
Available Report Generator Keywords[edit]
As different tests use different equipment and perform different actions each test has its own set of keywords. In many cases tests share the same keywords although this will refer to different data as the combination of main keyword and secondary keyword will always result in a unique combination. Errors are easily located by searching the report for the characters "||". Once found these can be deleted, or changed into an existing code. If the Report Generator is executed once again, using the modified file as the template, the Report Generator will finish the report without errors.
The ||STARTDELETEBLOCK()|| and ||ENDDELETEBLOCK()|| keyword are removing all the text and keywords in between these two tags, provided that nothing is replaced by any report generator keyword. This helps keeping your report automatically clean when certain parameters are not used when generating the report.
Normally when a keyword is not correct or recognized by the report generator, it will remain unchanged. With the keyword ||RemoveIllegalCodes(TRUE)|| it is possible to automatically remove all these keywords. Be aware that when you are searching for incorrect keywords and missing data, it can be very convenient when this function is not enabled. Then you are able to find the 'not replaced' keywords easily.

Excel Exporter[edit]
The EUT data can be exported using the Excel Exporter to Microsoft Excel. Press the Export button on the Reports tab of the EUT window, and the Excel Export window will open:
Selecting filename[edit]
To select the filename you want to use for saving the information press the select file button next to the red cross. A save window will appear allowing you to select the path and filename. After closing the save window the name will be displayed on the export window.
Selecting tests to be exported[edit]
You can select or deselect a test for export by checking or un-checking the checkbox in front of the name of the test. Pressing Select all will select all tests, pressing Unselect all will deselect all tests and pressing Invert selection will invert the selected. Invert means that all selected tests will be deselected and all deselect tests will be selected.
Changing the test order[edit]
The export module exports all the selected tests from the first test at the top to the last test at the bottom of the list. This order of the tests can be changed. Select the test you want to move, press the arrow up 
or down 
button and the test is moved one place up or one place down.
Export options[edit]
There are some options that can be selected when exporting the test information:
 Insert header above data
|
With insert header above data you can select, if you want, headers above every exported column, for example signal generator level, forward power and reflected power for immunity test. |
| Export EUT data
|
Export EUT data allows you to select, if you want, the EUT data to be exported. Only the EUT information stored in the top test can be exported. |
| Include not measured columns
|
Include not measured columns allows you to select, if you want, not measured columns to be exported. If you want to run a macro after exporting, it may be easier to export all the columns. You can then use the same macro for a signal level, forward power level and net power level test. It is not possible to have RadiMation® run the macro automatically after the export. Deselecting exporting not measured columns will result in faster exporting of the information. |
Performing the export[edit]
Once the Export button is pressed, all the raw data of the selected tests will be exported to the selected Excel file. The exported data, it's format and the amount of data that is exported is depending on the selected tests. When the export of the data is finished, the Excel Export window will close.
 |
Warning: | Microsoft Excel needs to be installed on the PC to export the EUT information. The version of Microsoft Excel should be greater then or equal to version 'Microsoft Excel 97'. |
